Dorsey did not build the thing from the ground up.  Granted, he has made bold moves.  But he was handed a situation where bold moves were possible.   Let's see how he sustains it from now on.  But he won't.  He'll move on.

I think his money will be earned (or not) when he has to start managing the cap after Baker is off his rookie deal. I think he's better at evaluating talent. He nails mid-round picks:

Travis Kelce (third round, 2013), 
Hill (fifth round, 2016) 
Kareem Hunt (third round, 2017) 

Zach Fulton and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif were both sixth-rounders in 2014. 
Cornerback Steve Nelson and wide receiver Chris Conley, both third-rounders in 2015
Defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Rochez (sixth round 2015) 
linebacker Ramik Wilson (fourth round, 2015)
